<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>rrdrestore - Restore the contents of an RRD from its XML dump format</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<p><b>rrdtool</b> <b>restore</b> <i>filename.xml</i> <i>filename.rrd</i> <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[<b>--range-check</b>|<b>-r</b>]</span> <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[<b>--force-overwrite</b>|<b>-f</b>]</span></p>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>The <b>restore</b> function reads the XML representation of an RRD and converts it to the native <b>RRD</b> format.</p>

<dl>

<dt id="filename.xml"><i>filename.xml</i></dt>
<dd>

<p>The name of the <b>XML</b> file you want to restore. The special filename &quot;-&quot; (a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.</p>

<p>In order to support the restore command in pipe mode (especially when using <b>RRDtool</b> over a network connection), when using &quot;-&quot; as a filename the end of the file can be signaled either by closing the data channel after the file has transferred (as would be the case when using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending a crtl-Z / newline combination. This allows one to send more commands to the <b>RRDtool</b> server after a restore.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="filename.rrd"><i>filename.rrd</i></dt>
<dd>

<p>The name of the <b>RRD</b> to restore.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="range-check--r"><b>--range-check</b>|<b>-r</b></dt>
<dd>

<p>Make sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined for the various data sources.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="force-overwrite--f"><b>--force-overwrite</b>|<b>-f</b></dt>
<dd>

<p>Allows <b>RRDtool</b> to overwrite the destination <b>RRD</b>.</p>

</dd>
</dl>
